Even if they ever want to expand that platform, that design is IMO bad. On such a monument they should in such case go for a design that integrates with the older parts and looks like it was there from the beginning.
That said, leave it alone.

isn't this just the top of the parachute jump ride at coney island atop the Eiffel tower?

Keep Eiffel Tower as it is. Interesting: in Germany n some TV towers observation decks were closed, while tourists have to wait obviously for several hours to visit Eiffel Tower. And for those who want to get up a lattice tower I recommend the old Berlin Radio Tower. And for those who have no problems with long stairways visit Torre Faro ( http://www.ganzirri.it/spip.php?article57 ) in Messina. I believe walking up and down 1260 stairs will not require longer than waiting 4 hours in a queue at Eiffel Tower.

.............................................who the fuck is responsible for this rape of one of the greatest pieces of architecture/engineering,its insulting even as a simple vision. as for the Washington Monument scaffolding on the last page im pretty sure Washington himself would turn in his grave if that was to come to pass.
